About
Water is Life Kenya (WILK) is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit (Tax ID number: 26-3185829). Founded by Joyce Tannian of Newark, Delaware and Joseph Larasha of Kenya, WILK is a US-based charitable organization who operates with boots on the ground in Kajiado County, Southern Kenya. For 15 years years WILK has worked primarily with indigenous Maasai people in southern Kenya. What began as an effort to install water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects has evolved into a model for just development. For these communities, water is just the beginning. We don’t just drill wells–we empower local communities to care for themselves.
